morning at not finding Mrs: Waterman in
her room on going to call her to breakfast
She had left the house before the family
were astir, and as she had been deranged
for some time it was feared she had taken
her life, as a rope which was known to have
been in the shed was also missing. The
neighbors were at once notified, and a large
number of men and boys proceeded to
search every barn and she'd or other place
of conceament, in the village. Not find
ing her, the river and the neighboring
woods were thoroughly but uusuccessfully
searched Towards noon some of the party
returned to the village. One of them en-
tered Mr.. Waterman's barn and noticed
that the hay on the NOW had been dis
turbed. Calling in two or three Others
they started on to the hay-mow, when Mrs
Waterman rose up from the hay with
pleasant Good morning, gentlemen"
She will be taken to Brattleboro this week.

DIR. f. II. EVERETT has just returned
from his western trip. He visited Niagara,
Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City, etc, and
is well pleased with what he saw there.
In Kansas City, he says, they are building
more fine residences stores. banks and
other business blocks, as we'll as more miles
of cable road, than all the other towns vis-
tied by him combined. He is not so enthus-
asTic over western mud, or western water,
which to an eastern man seems like mix
ture of mud and water. Kansas City now
has fifteen railroads, with nine more build
ing which will be completed next year. AS
Chicago has only twenty-one, this gives
Kansas City three more than Chicago. John

WE are willing to bear personal testimony
to the efficacy and value of Hoods Sarspa-
rila, which we have been advertising some
years in our paper, having used it for blood
impurities with great success. 1t is prepa-
ration of standard merit made of perfectly
pure ingredients, and thoroughly effective in
cleansing and purifying the system. For
eruptions boils, etc, It can be relied upon
every time. Our own experience with it has
been most gratifying, and we are glad to

fine souvenir napkin. Ginger and tea
furnished and made by the Cinnamon, will
have prominence in the menu" The
prices of admission will be exceedingly
low-twenty-tve cents for adults and fifteen

Mrs. Knapp is both clever and liberal. As a

Louisa Knapp was born in Boston, Mass,

Of a newspaper publisher, and in 1876 re-
moved with her husband to Philadelphia,
where her first editorial labor was to take
charge Of the household department OF an ag-

The Tribune and Farmer. Her original
single column of space was gradually ex-
tended to whole page and SO thoroughly
was her work done that more than 10000
women subscribers were added to that publ

The first number of the magazine which
she now edits was issued in December, 1888,
and from the first its success was an accom-

She draws a salary of 5000 per annum.
Her rare intuition and administrative force
